The New Hinnom Nation

Or, even more interestingly, the fortune tellers could increase the chance of getting a hero. Now that would be intriguing.

Invading a high luck neighbor is just like having high luck.

Is it? For getting heroes?

For most things, invading a high luck neighbor should be like having no luck, until your dominion takes over, but I'd always assumed the hero chance was calculated at your capital since that's where he appears.

I've often wondered about this.
What is the purpose of having luck in each terrain, unless each terrain has a possibility of generating an event in that terrain.

Are there capitol only events?

So the question, more or less, are there capitol only events, or do things like temples/labs/capitol merely enable certain classes of events.

I think the game chooses a province and an event (perhaps not in that order), checks if they work together, and tries again until it finds a combination that works. So labs are only destroyed if there are labs, and you get something else if there isn't a lab.

IIRC at least in dom2 forums it was said that the event frequency was dependant on capital dominion, but the exact nature depended on scales of the province (which was randomly chosen).

As it was, turmoil/luck nations had terrible day when invading order/misfortune lands. Ewww...

Gem generating events seem to be tied to terrain type, among other things. "Huge amount of water gems floated ashore" happens in coastal provinces. Death in swamps, fire in wasteland... So there's a slight amount of extra strategy involved in your conquests.
